This is totally a geek/nerd posting. What I did not do with my Friday Night.
I did not stay up way too late upgrading (playing with) the new disk-array.
I did not accidentally plug my new array into a consumer-grade UPS but accidentally plug it into the SURGE outlet and not the BATT outlet.
I did not plug it into the same wall circuit that the backup AC unit is on.
I did not plug it into the same wall circuit that the Brinks Security system is on.
I did *NOT* trip the circuit breaker causing half my office to go dark. Do you realize how long it takes to run CHKDSK on a 1.5 Terabyte volume?
And most importantly….I did not do all of this halfway through the firmware load on the new array.
That’s gonna sting.
